Butterfly Gala, Beauty Abounds, Dandelion Wishes, Get Well Card

I really LOVE butterflies. The "Beauty Abounds" and "Butterfly Gala" sets have some fun butterflies to play with. I liked making this card because it was pretty quick and simple.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Whisper White card stock. On top of that is a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Highland Heather. And the focal piece was cut 3-3/4" x 5".

I stamped the butterfly from the "Butterfly Gala" set using black Memento ink. I set them aside for a few minutes to dry. In the meantime I stamped the words from the "Dandelion Wishes" set using black Memento ink. I set it aside to dry. Then I punched out the two butterflies. I colored them using the Highland Heather Blends pens. I just colored the whole butterfly with the light pen and then came back with the darker pen in the middle and on the edges. I added Dimensionals to the back and set them aside.

I stamped the Highland Heather bubbles from the "Beauty ABounds" set. Then I stamped some Lemon Lime Twist bubbles using the smaller bubble image.

I took some gold thread and wrapped it around the 3-3/4" part of the card stock. I used a glue dot to hold the raw ends. Then I found center or close to it and pressed that into the glue dot to hold it. Sometimes I twist them to give them a figure 8 look, it just depends on if the thread will cooperate. I set the thread in place on the card front towards the bottom right.

I took the "Starburst" punch and punched out the Highland Heather piece from the same 4" x 5-1/4" piece that I am going to use for the layer. No one will ever know it's missing. I taped the Starburst piece to the word piece and added Dimensionals to the back.

I taped the Highland Heather layer to the card base. Then I taped the focal piece to the card base. I added the word piece and then the butterflies. See, I told you it was quick and simple! Oh and pretty too!!

I also apologize for all the ads on my site. I'm working on getting the one inside my post removed. Some days it's there and some it isn't. It's a bit frustrating, but I am working on the issue.

Today's card is a very simple one to make. I was playing with the new "Perennial Essence" 12" x 12" Designer Ser...
